Marginal Gains Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka, Osaka Prefecture; CEO: Mitsuhiro Inomata) released the free iOS app '10-Minute Business Card' on the App Store in March 2026. The app allows users to create business cards on their smartphones and print them on the same day at Seven-Eleven stores.

Background: Business card trouble is a common problem for 1 in 2 people According to a 2023 survey by Sansan, Inc., 1 in 2 business professionals have experienced trouble with paper business cards. 23.4% have run out of cards during meetings, and 16.1% have forgotten their card cases. Many have lost a good first impression due to not having a card.

Meanwhile, traditional printing usually requires a minimum order of 100 cards and takes several days to arrive. There was no solution for those who needed just 1 or 2 cards for a meeting today.

With the new fiscal year approaching, this is the busiest time for business card needs due to transfers, promotions, job changes, and freelancing. The freelance population has reached 13.03 million (Lancers survey, 2024), and over 55% of major companies have lifted bans on side jobs. The number of professionals whose companies do not provide business cards continues to grow.

'10-Minute Business Card' was developed to solve this unmet need for 'just 1 or 2 cards, right now.'

What you can do with 10-Minute Business Card It is an iOS app that allows you to create or copy business cards on your smartphone and print them immediately at approximately 21,700 Seven-Eleven stores nationwide (as of late February 2026). The app is free. The only cost is 200 yen for a color postcard print (for 2 business cards) paid at the store.

How to use: (1) Prepare card data in the app (create new from templates or copy existing cards via camera) (2) Issue a print reservation number within the app (3) Enter the number at a multi-copy machine at the nearest Seven-Eleven (4) Cut along the guide lines to complete
